Evaluation of Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Production among Clinical Strain Isolated from Medical Devices
Microbial biofilms pose a serious threat to patients requiring medical devices (MDs). Prolonged periods of implantation carry a high risk of device-related infections (DRIs). Patients with DRIs often have negative outcomes following the failure of antibiotic treatment. Resistant DRIs are mainly due...
